I disagree with comments suggesting the song lyrics are pointless / aren't deep. For me the song has also had a pretty obvisious meaning but this is just my interpretation. I interprete Jane as being a really close much loved friend, or maybe even a sibling, who is going through some heavy troubeled times, likely experiancing depression, she doesn't want to face every day life and has spent a lot of time being reclusive/sleeping the days away. Her friends/family want to help but don't really know how, its her birthday though and they want to make her forget all her problems and worries just for the day and be happy again. Pretty meaningful theme for me anyway.

Anyone who has seen the enemy live knows this song is one of the highlights of the set, a huge crowd singalong that pours emotion.

This song was written as a tribute to their managers mom Jane.

Who is the nicest woman on earth and without here the enemy wouldn't be where they are today.

i love this song, not every song has to be deep, just sounds like a nice thing to do and its a good song to me.

The lyrics may look pretty simple when they're written out, but when I listen to this song it sounds so sad, it makes me wonder if 'Jane' is stuck in some sort of depressive situation. When I first listened to the song I thought perhaps she had other people relying on her and that was why she couldn't get out, maybe she cared for disabled relatives or something like that.

at first listen it sounded to me as if the girl Jane was dying and it was her birthday

Wake Up The Sun Is Shining, Shining For You, To Take All Your Troubles Away, Just For A Day,

like it is her birthday and they want her "troubles" to be taken away and

So Good Night Jane, Happy Birthday Once Again, Now What Will We Do, What Will We Do Without You, Without You,

is when she has died and it is the anniversary of her death, they are saying what will we do now that you are gone, thats just me but

Worst song on the album, only because the lyrical content is pointless. Who is Jane? And why do I care that it's her birthday? LOL

However, it does sound GOOD, so i do listen to it occasionally, but meh

WTH? Can't you listen to a song switching the meaning of "Jane" to any other name (which may be your own)?
